Gumoss: Location, Breeding and Drops

Wild, at levels 2 to 9, across the Windswept Hills and the eastern islands. The eastern spawner is a coin flip between Gumoss and Flambelle, which is the best odds on the map.

Every Gumoss spawn, plus its field boss

All 160 mapped Gumoss points and the single level 11 field boss. The eastern pin has fewer points than the western ones and better odds per encounter.

The route
1Fly east rather than staying in the hillsThe Windswept patch has the most points, but the eastern spawner runs only two Pals. Fewer points, far fewer wasted encounters.32 points shared with 1 other Pal
2Leave your Grass Pal at homeGumoss is Grass and Ground at once, so Grass damage hits its Ground half and Fire hits its Grass half. A Grass partner is a liability here rather than a match.Weak to Fire and to Grass
3Throw a basic sphere without fightingAt levels 2 to 9 a full-health Gumoss still lands in one or two throws. Save the fight for the boss if you want the higher level.Wild levels 2 to 9
4Take the level 11 boss for the dropsOne field boss exists, at [-113, -628] near the Sea Breeze Archipelago. It respawns, so a failed attempt costs nothing but the flight back.1 field boss, level 11

VariantSeparate
Gumoss (Special)

The flower-headed Gumoss is its own Pal with its own Paldeck slot, 12B. Catching this one does not fill it, and it has 23 mapped points against 160 for this one.

Verdant Egg

Only four results share the Windswept Hills Verdant Egg pool, so a quarter of those eggs are a Gumoss. The Huge variant is far worse, at roughly 1.5 percent.

Pairs that make a Gumoss

Thirty pairs land on Gumoss, which is unusually many for a starter Pal. That makes it a convenient stepping stone in a passive chain, and a waste of Cake if you only want one.

Grass and Ground together means Grass damage is a weakness, not a resistance. The Grass partner you were about to send in takes the fight the wrong way.
The flower-headed Gumoss (Special) is a different Paldeck entry. Filling slot 12 leaves 12B empty, and no amount of catching this one will change that.
Wild Gumoss caps at level 9. The level 11 field boss is the only higher one you can catch without a Breeding Farm.
Why bother
Logging Assistance improves logging efficiency by 30 percent and cuts the weight of every kind of wood by 40 percent while Gumoss is in your party. Wood weight is the reason early base trips end early, so this is a carry-slot skill rather than a base one. At the base it is Planting level 1 and nothing else.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where does Gumoss spawn in Palworld 1.0?

Across the Windswept Hills, the Fortress Ruins and the eastern islands, at levels 2 to 9. The Windswept Island patch has the most points, 55 of 160, but the eastern spawner has better odds per encounter.

Where is the Alpha Gumoss?

One field boss exists, at [-113, -628] near the Sea Breeze Archipelago, at level 11. There is no second field boss and no raid tier for Gumoss.

What is the Gumoss with the flower on its head?

Gumoss (Special), Paldeck 12B, a separate Pal with only 23 mapped spawn points. It drops 3 Beautiful Flowers on top of the usual Berry Seeds and shares the same stats and skills.

What is Gumoss weak to?

Fire and Grass. It is Grass and Ground at the same time, so Fire punishes the Grass half and Grass punishes the Ground half. Bringing a Grass Pal makes the fight worse.

Is Gumoss worth keeping?

For the party slot, yes. Logging Assistance cuts all wood weight by 40 percent and raises logging efficiency by 30 percent, which matters far more than its Planting level 1 at the base.
